E. Donald Kern

Memories of you and your contributions shall forever live at WDIA--Memphis.

Don, what a wonderful man you were. We had so many good times in New Orleans with your lovely wife, Ann, and my dearest friend - your daughter - Marguerite. Love you and I'll never forget you...especially at Christmas!!!

Don, you were always so special to me. We had so many good times together. I love you, your lovely wife Ann and my dearest friend, Marguerite. I'll never forget you*

I worked for Don at WSHO from 1968-1974 as a radio announcer & enjoyed every minute of it. No doubt he was a great leader & always believed in being productive but having fun while doing it. I will always remember the great memories. No doubt he is in Heaven along with all the other great people. He will be missed.

I had just started at WSHO part time under the old ownereship when Don & Cal bought the station. I worked there from 1965 until 1970. Don was a great man and taught me a lot about broadcsting. He gave me the opportunity to spread my wings and become a real country music personality known as "Bob Young," I loved the man, and appreciated his friendship through the years. He will be trully missed.

Don Tahnk you for W S HO

Thank Jesus for Don Kern,
New Orleans was starving for a country station. The former ownwer of WSHO Ray Mac Radio almost lost the whole station.

Don and Cal saved WSHO and invested a huge gamble. Not many people tought a country station would make any money here in New Orleans.

WSHO was a day time only station and most of thier listeners followed it from sun rise to sun set.
The station has a fantastic signal it was a 1,000 watt station not a real power house, but the...

I worked for Don at WSHO from 1968 - 1973. made the move from Common St. to Canal Street and enjoyed every minute. He was a leader, a fun boss, an innovator and happy to say a friend. He will be missed by all that knew him or knew of him.

Sorry about your Dad. I always remember him as one of the brightest spirits around. At Metairie CC or any place else, he was always up to something good.
